Patent number: 10353751Abstract: Various embodiments provide an interface between a Web browser's layout engine and a scripting engine. The interface enables objects from the layout engine to be recognized by a memory manager in the scripting engine and interact in a streamlined, efficient manner. In accordance with one or more embodiments, the interface allows browser layout engine objects to be created as objects that are native to the scripting engine. Alternately or additionally, in some embodiments, the native objects are further configured to proxy functionality between the layout engine and the scripting engine.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2017Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Yong Qu, Curtis Cheng-Cheng Man, Justin E Rogers

Patent number: 10168898Abstract: In at least some embodiments, input provided by a single source generates events representing multiple source types through a mapping process, e.g. a touch input generates both touch and mouse events. By configuring the system to not recognize certain gestures, messages associated with the events of the different source types are then interleaved and provided to an associated application for processing. Efficiencies are gained by configuring the system to interleave the messages associated with the source types because messages of one source type can be processed sooner than if the messages of the one source type were queued up and sent in a non-interleaved fashion.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2016Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jacob S. Rossi, Justin E. Rogers, Nathan J. E. Furtwangler

Patent number: 10055388Abstract: In at least some embodiments, a mechanism is provided for web developers to request specific default behaviors, such as touch behaviors, on their webpages. In at least some implementations, a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) rule is utilized to enable or disable manipulations such as panning, pinch zoom, and double-tap-zoom manipulations. The mechanism can be extensible to accommodate additional default behaviors that are added in the future. In various embodiments, the behaviors are declared up front and thus differ from solutions which employ an imperative model. The declarative nature of this approach allows achievement of full independence from the main thread and deciding the correct response using independent hit testing.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2015Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Matthew A. Rakow, Tony E. Schreiner, Bradley J. Litterell, Kevin M. Babbitt, Praveen Kumar Muralidhar Rao, Justin E. Rogers, Sylvain P. Galineau, Arron J. Eicholz

Patent number: 9697186Abstract: An illustrative implementation is described for copying an identified portion of source content along with style information associated with the portion. The implementation allows the identified portion to be pasted into target content. By virtue of the extraction and retention of style information, the identified portion that is pasted into the target content visually resembles the identified portion as it appears in the source content. The implementation can identify relevant style information to be preserved based on a contextual analysis of style information applied to the source content. In one illustrative case, some of the style information may be revealed by parts of the content that are not directly demarcated by the identified portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Justin E. Rogers, Markus W. Mielke

Patent number: 9575652Abstract: Instantiable gesture object techniques are described in which native gesture functionality is abstracted to applications using a script-based recognition interface. Gesture objects may be instantiated for different interaction contexts at the direction of applications programmed using dynamic scripting languages. Gesture objects can be configured to designate particular touch contacts and/or other inputs to consider for gesture recognition and a target element of content to which corresponding recognized gestures are applicable. After creation, gesture objects manage gesture processing operations on behalf of the applications including creating recognizers with the native gesture system, feeding input data for processing, and transforming raw gesture data into formats appropriate for the application and/or a target element. Accordingly, script-based applications may use the gesture objects to offload processing tasks associated with gesture recognition and take advantage of native gesture functionality.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2012Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jacob S.

Patent number: 9430808Abstract: Techniques for synchronization points for state information are described. In at least some embodiments, synchronization points are employed to propagate state information among different processing threads. A synchronization point, for example, can be employed to propagate state information among different independently-executing threads. Accordingly, in at least some embodiments, synchronization points serve as inter-thread communications among different independently-executing threads.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christian Fortini, Brian E.
